My Step deputy Hrachya Hakobyan told reporters during an interview in parliament that Azerbaijan did not attack until 2020 because first, the former regime had promised to give land away, but Armenians were saying at the same time that anyone who gives away an inch of land is a traitor…
Within this context, Aravot Daily reminded him of a statement made by the vice-president of the Armenian National Congress, Levon Zurabyan, during the party’s conference, that Nikol Pashinyan is the spiritual child of the “non-land-givers”- Rober Kocharyan, Serzh Sargsyan, and Sasna Tsrer. Levon Ter-Petrossian had said that we lost to the “not an inch of land” mentality. Hrachya Hakobyan said, “Some people were saying that Nikol Pashinyan came to give away the land. Others were saying that he is a “not an inch of land” supporter. Perhaps the political sphere should make a general statement? Let’s finally understand if Nikol Pashinyan is a traitor or a “not an inch of land” supporter. I do not think that Nikol Pashinyan is a land-giver. The lands were not given away; they were passed to Azerbaijan as a result of the war. I would never consider that being giving land away. I am ashamed for those people who say that we handed Shushi over. Our boys died in Shushi…”
